BREAKING: Shiloh Hendrix, Woman Seen in Viral Video Using Slur at Park, Charged – Faces Jail and Fines
Shiloh Hendrix, a Rochester, Minnesota, woman seen in a viral video using a racial slur toward a young child at a park in April, is facing three misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, according to the Rochester City Attorney’s Office.
If convicted, Hendrix could face up to 90 days in jail and/or a $1,000 fine.
The incident drew widespread attention earlier this year after a video circulated online showing Hendrix in a confrontation at a local park. In the footage, she is accused of using a racial slur toward a five-year-old Somali child with a disability. Hendrix claimed the child had taken a diaper bag belonging to her toddler. The man filming the video, who challenged Hendrix over her use of the slur, has since been accused by her of stalking and doxxing.

The video sparked immediate backlash on social media, with critics condemning Hendrix’s actions and launching a campaign that resulted in the alleged release of her personal information, including her home address and Social Security number. In response, Hendrix launched a fundraiser on GiveSendGo, raising more than $750,000, citing efforts to protect her family amid the fallout.
According to KTTC, the Rochester City Attorney’s Office stated that the charges stem from Hendrix’s “offensive, obscene, abusive, boisterous, or noisy conduct,” which prosecutors argue could “reasonably tend to arouse alarm, anger, or resentment in others.”
Officials noted that the case involved extensive evidence and required input from multiple agencies. Minnesota law also mandates that prosecutors consider the views of the victim, which contributed to delays in filing charges.
The complaint is currently under review by a district court judge. A city spokesperson emphasized the importance of a fair legal process and declined to speculate on the timeline or possible outcomes.
